Abstract:The 3-dimensional geometry of the articular surface of the hip joint was reconstructed using data obtained from ap radiograms of the pelvis. Combining the results of this calculation with data published on the weight distribution of adult persons, the mean and the standard deviation of the pressure on the articular surface of the hip joint are calculated.
